So, being back in our lovely house for the first time in 2 months is….interesting. I love this house. We’ve spent 5 years making memories and living here. It’s got the best kitchen I’ve ever cooked in! It has wood floors that are perfect to ice skate around in socks! It has Rocky Mountain views! And that’s just the first floor!

It really has been a fantastic place to live. We moved there from Vegas and followed the good old American Dream…find a big house and move in! But what I didn’t realize when we moved here was that the big house comes with strings attached. Big houses have more rooms which need more furniture! And knick knacks! And time to clean them! Big houses take a big part of the paycheck, which leaves fewer resources to do other things like travel or play. Big houses mean big maintenance. Before I knew it, the house became like an anchor, tethering us down to this one tiny town in the middle of the country.

4700 sq ft. down to a 35 foot long RV is quite a leap, size wise. It took some getting used to, but at the same time it didn’t. I don’t miss the day long cleaning of my house. I don’t miss the rooms full of things that I never really used much anyway. I don’t miss the ties to things that didn’t mean all that much, when it came down to it…just stuff to fill a space. I love the freedom of movement, with our house able to follow us rather than us settling down with a house.

I love this place, but it doesn’t feel like home anymore. The world feels like my home, and I’m anxious to get back out in the RV and live in it again!

it’s so windy and cold here in Colorado! Luckily I have my hot chocolate (peppermint, of course!) and dreams of warm beaches to keep me from being too chilled!
